David Adjaye / Adjaye Associates

7:00 pm / Mershon Auditorium

April 6, 2010 - 7:00pm

Hear from a new design leader, David Adjaye, who is gaining recognition and acclaim as one of the top architects of his generation in the United Kingdom and beyond. The principal director of Adjaye Associates (which now has offices in London, New York, and Berlin), Adjaye has a reputation as an architect with an artist's sensibility and vision. Diverse in scale, intended audience, and geographic location, his firm's projects include the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo, and the Idea Stores in London. Most recently, Adjaye Associates won the competition to build the National Museum of African American History and Culture for the Smithsonian Institution, as part of Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup. We welcome him as the speaker for this year's Glimcher Lecture, which features notable voices in the fields of design and architecture. This lecture was co-sponsored with the Wexner Center and support from the Glimcher Program Fund.
